I am fast walking the Viola Valley Half Marathon (13.1 miles or 21 KM) on Saturday, May 13th, to raise money for Leader Dogs for the Blind. I ask my extended family, school, musician, IT, and Lions friends to consider donating $13 or €13 or £13 for this fundraiser. Leader Dog is a 501(c)3 whose mission is empowering people who are blind or visually impaired with lifelong skills for safe and independent daily travel. Their services and programs are at absolutely NO CHARGE to the clients. Leader Dogs for the Blind is not USA-only. They have ongoing relationships with ONCE of Spain and IRIS Guide Dogs in Brazil to provide guide dog training to some of their clients each year. They have placed guide dogs in Argentina, Brazil, Canada, Chile, Columbia, Costa Rica, Czech Republic, Denmark, Dominican Republic, Ecuador, El Salvador, Finland, Germany, Greece, Guatemala, Honduras, India, Israel, Italy, Japan, Korea, Mexico, Norway, Panama, Peru, Poland, Portugal, Puerto Rico, Spain, Switzerland, Taiwan, Thailand, Trinidad, Turkey, Ukraine, United Kingdom, Uruguay, and the West Indies…over 3,000+ in 84 years https://lnkd.in/emmK8rNH Thank you very much
